Solution Transfer Robots

Liquid handling robots have been used in high speed synthesis in
a variety of ways. Most approaches that have seen light as commercial
entities have used robots as a platform for a "Synthesizer."
The entire reaction sequence takes place in a reactor block on the
robot deck. Historically, the primary function of the robot has
been reagent and solvent addition.

Our belief is that the reaction part is best done away from a robot
and that the best use of liquid handling robots is in workup, purification
and analysis. This greatly simplifies design and allows for use of the
robots by others while reactions are running. We also believe that
chemists should be able to perform a wide number of manipulations with
little training and with short setup times. Full operation of our software
can be taught in under 15 minutes and setup time for operations is
typically under a minute.

Our unique approach to
liquid handling robotics in the medicinal
chemistry lab has been successfully used for over eight years in labs
around the world. We even made it on the cover of
Forbes (well, our robot did).
We were in the process of bringing this technology to the general marketplace.
But we're not anymore. Too many people have decided that this whole process can
be accomplished better by taking the work to places where the wages are substantially
lower than here in the US. But we leave up the information for our visitors because
we think this is a pretty good way to do things.
